Look what I caught!

" The creative individual

 has the capacity to free himself 

from the web of social pressures 

in which the rest of us are caught.

 He is capable of

 that the rest of us 

accept.  "

about my mother
 is that for thirty years 
she served the family
 nothing but leftovers. 
The original meal
 has never been 
found.  "
